Our members from different ITC countries have published a paper in Slovenian Veterinary Research on the advantages home-cage systems offer for animal welfare and data reproducibility. A pipeline for choosing the right system also added!

See you soon in beautiful Helsinki for our final event!
#animalresearch #homecage #conference @costprogramme.bsky.social
Join us on September 3rd for Day 2 of the TEATIME Final Conference, featuring expert talks on home-cage monitoring technologies, case studies, a roundtable on the future of automated monitoring, a closing keynote, and a farewell networking reception.
#animalresearch #homecage
At the TEATIME Beginners Training School, Veronika Borbelyova present how testing social behavior of mice in home-cage systems like PhenoTyper can offer more natural insights compared to traditional sociability tests in unfamiliar environments.
